In this course, students will use the Raspberry Pi, a small and affordable computer, to build IoT projects that connect sensors and devices to the internet. They will learn the basics of programming, networking, and hardware interfacing, while creating projects like weather stations, smart lights, and automated systems. The course will guide students through setting up their Raspberry Pi, programming in Python, and connecting their projects to the cloud for real-time monitoring and control.
